func count(quit chan bool) {
	count := 0
	for {
		select {
		case <-quit:
			fmt.Println("\n\t\ttotal:", count)
			return
		default:
		}
		count++
		fmt.Print(".") // to print the `quit` reciever case
	}
}

func main() {
	quit := make(chan bool)
	go count(quit)
	time.Sleep(time.Second / 100)
	quit <- true // forces `count` to do job
}
